St Kilda key defender Jake Carlisle has accepted a $1000 fine for wrestling Geelong forward Nakia Cockatoo in Sunday's loss at Etihad Stadium.

The Match Review Panel charged both players with wrestling following an incident in the final quarter of Sunday's Round 5 game.

Due to Carlisle's clean record, the 25-year-old had the initial $1500 fine reduced to $1000 with an early guilty plea.
